   • Taste changes (dysgeusia) An altered or bad taste in the mouth is the most commonly reported side effect with Paxlovid. People report a bitter or metallic taste (often referred to as “Paxlovid mouth”) that’s hard to get rid of while on treatment.
   • Diarrhea. Diarrhea is another side effect you may encounter during treatment with Paxlovid, but it’s also a side effect of COVID-19. For most people, diarrhea due to Paxlovid clears up after treatment and tends to be mild.
   • Blood pressure increase (hypertension) High blood pressure was listed as a side effect with Paxlovid, but it’s not very common. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, occurred in about 1% of people (1 out of everyone 100) in Paxlovid studies (and less than 1% in the placebo group).
   • Muscle aches and pain (myalgia) Muscle aches (myalgia) occurred in about 1% of people in studies with Paxlovid, and less than 1% of the placebo group.

   • How does Paxlovid work? Paxlovid is an antiviral therapy that consists of two separate medications packaged together. When you take your three-pill dose, two of those pills will be nirmatrelvir, which inhibits a key enzyme that the COVID virus requires in order to make functional virus particles.
   • When should I take Paxlovid? You have to take Paxlovid within five days of developing symptoms. Like all antivirals, Paxlovid works best early in the course of an illness—in this case, within the first five days of symptom onset, says Jeffrey Topal, MD, a Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist who is involved in determining COVID-19 treatment protocols for Yale New Haven Hospital patients.
   • How often do I take Paxlovid? The standard dose is three Paxlovid pills twice daily for five days for a full course that adds up to 30 pills. It helps that the pills are packaged in a “dose card,” basically a medication blister pack that allows you to punch out the pills as needed.
   • Is Paxlovid similar to Tamiflu? “I think it's a good comparison,” says Dr. Roberts. Tamiflu is an antiviral drug that reduces flu symptoms. Both are prescription-only oral antiviral pills given early in illness.
